Bangkok: Avatr entered the Thai vehicle market last week, becoming the latest on a long list of Chinese vehicle makers to explore the South-East Asian country.

The startup unveiled the Avatr 11, an SUV coupe in Bangkok, which also marks its parent company Changan’s fourth model in Thailand, following the launches of the Deepal L07 and S07 in 2023 and the Lumin L earlier this year.
